6 weeks ago I would have said yes. But I've been learning a shit ton about writing and now I'll say no.

The goal isn't to pack less, it's to pack the right stuff only.

That makes sense to me, it's essentially what separates a writer from a great writer, the ability to conceive of and know what to pack. In the past, I have thrown everything but the kitchen sink at my songs and handed them to a professional to "fix it in the mix." -No more! The album I'm working on will be a much more deliberately packed suit-case.

Have I beaten this metaphor to death yet?
